Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for separating flat objects of different flexibility of a stack, preferably consisting of pressure plates and flexible intermediate layers, comprising at least one suction element for sucking the objects by means of a suction air flow. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for separating flat objects of different flexibility of a stack, preferably consisting of pressure plates and flexible intermediate layers of a stack, wherein the objects are sucked through at least one suction element.
  • the singulation process and charging process can be disturbed and interfere with subsequent processing or prevent multiple flat objects from sticking together, for example, two objects of equal rigidity, such as two printing plates or different flexibility, such as a printing plate and an intermediate layer, the pressure plate of a subsequent or previous one in the stack should be.
  • two objects of equal rigidity such as two printing plates or different flexibility, such as a printing plate and an intermediate layer
  • the pressure plate of a subsequent or previous one in the stack should be.
  • intermediate layers for example Paper sheets used.
  • Such intermediate layers can not be provided or inadvertently missing in a particular case or be present in two layers.
  • This lifting device may, for example, comprise suction elements which suck in the objects and intermediate layers. This can lead to double sheets. With double bows refers to juxtaposing objects, such as printing plates and / or liners, so that several are raised by the lifting device. These double sheets must then be separated appropriately.
  • intermediate layers depending on the manufacturer, different materials can be used. Thus, it may happen that a porous material, e.g. porous paper is used as an intermediate layer.
  • a porous material e.g. porous paper
  • the suction elements of the lifting device set on an intermediate layer and the resulting vacuum also acts on the underlying object.
  • the double sheets are held and sucked by the suction elements.
  • these double sheets can be detected by sensors, but the separation is more complicated than if the double sheets, for example, by electrostatic forces together.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in terms of apparatus in that the at least one suction element is at least substantially enclosed by at least one shaped element with boundaries spaced from the suction element.
  • This molding element may, for example, be a frame which encloses the suction element. It may also be a compact form, which surrounds the suction element and thus has a lower opening through which the suction element protrudes.
  • the suction element has a suction surface, which is bounded circumferentially by the so-called suction lip. Both the suction surface and the suction lip are both rubber-elastic. If a rigid object such as an inflexible pressure plate is sucked in, then they will form a substantially planar surface. If a less rigid object such as a flexible intermediate layer is sucked in by the at least one suction element, the suction surface will deform the intermediate layer such that it advantageously forms at least one air channel below itself, as provided by the method. This air can be supplied to the external air pressure, at least the intermediate layer can be easily solved by a pressure plate. Due to the limitations, it is conveniently made possible that procedurally the intermediate layers are deformed during suction by at least one suction element and form air channels below.
  • the intermediate layer consists of a porous material and if there is another object underneath, then the further object can no longer be sucked in, since no vacuum can act on the further object due to the air channels or the deformed suction surface.
  • air will flow through the air channels. According to the invention, it is no longer possible to form double sheets.
  • the boundaries enclose a lower surface formed by them, which is substantially parallel to the objects and is spaced from the suction surface of the suction element so that this suction surface is in the inactive state below the surface and the suction a flexible intermediate layer is deformed so that it is substantially above that of the boundaries shaped surface is located and air channels are formed below the liner.
  • a flexible intermediate layer such as e.g. Paper or porous paper will follow the deformed suction surface and be pulled over the lower surface of the boundary.
  • a pressure plate is too inflexible for this. It can thus form air channels between the pressure plate and liner, air can flow and the vacuum no longer acts on the pressure plate, double sheets can be very effectively avoided.
  • the boundaries have recesses or cuts which differ in shape from the plane of the lower surface.
  • the formation of the air ducts can be promoted better, they are no longer obstructed by the boundary itself in these areas of the limit.
  • the boundary consists of a frame, then it may be provided that this frame has a rectangular shape, for example. It encloses the suction element. If the suction element now absorbs a flexible intermediate layer, the suction element and the suction surface will then deform such that the suction surface lies substantially above the frame. The flexible intermediate layer follows the deformed suction surface.
  • the pressure plate is too rigid and will not deform flexibly, but will form a substantially planar plane with the lower surface of the frame.
  • this air duct can be increased thereby and continue to act between the surface between the pressure plate and intermediate layer when the frame, ie the boundary has recesses or cuts.
  • the frame can be made up of different elements separated from each other.
  • the frame forms a lower plane, which acts as a boundary for a sucked pressure plate. This boundary may be designed in such a form that she leaves this level at one or more places.
  • the recesses or cuts are formed in the form of at least one groove. These are formal cuts in the boundary that act along one direction.
  • these grooves are then provided in each mold element, which encloses a suction element.
  • These grooves can be directionally matched to one another so that the formation of a continuous first air duct is supported by at least a plurality of mold elements. In this way, e.g. form an air channel over the entire width of the pressure plate or the intermediate layer and convey air of the outer air pressure between the intermediate layer and pressure plate.
  • this first long air duct may take a long time, it is therefore advantageously provided that in a development, the boundaries have more recesses or cuts in a different direction to the groove. This will form air channels in the form of folds in the intermediate layer, which form at least a second air duct.
  • the suction elements act on an edge surface of the flat objects or intermediate layers.
  • the second air channels then quickly connect to the external air pressure.
  • they are intended to run perpendicular to the printing plate edge, which runs parallel to the lifting device to which the suction elements belong. The distance So this edge is very low.
  • air of the external air pressure between flat object and intermediate layer is passed, the effect of the vacuum is then no longer so good enough to suck the flat object, ie the pressure plate.
  • the first air channel is formed, which is parallel to the one edge of the intermediate layers.
  • the adhesion between the flat object and the intermediate layer is removed over a large area and effectively counteracts suction of the flat object.
  • the suction element is deformable in the direction of the suction air flow. This will at least support that the suction surface in an activated state, i. with a sucked flexible object, behind the plane of the boundary is withdrawn.
  • the device described and the method described also counteracts the formation of double sheets consisting of two intermediate layers.
  • the first intermediate layer is already sucked before it comes to a contact between the suction element and the stack. Due to the then occurring deformation of the suction surface and the suction lip, since the flexible intermediate layer is sucked into the area above the lower surface of the boundary, there is no effective positive connection between the suction element and another intermediate layer.
  • a double sheet of two intermediate layers can be avoided at least better.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically suction elements 6 of a not fully shown lifting device 1 with mold elements 7.
  • lines 6 Saugluftströmung in the direction of arrows 5 is passed through the suction elements 6.
  • porous intermediate layers 2 or printing plates 3 which lie on a printing plate stack 4 within a cassette 8 partially shown, are sucked in and then lifted by the lifting device 1.
  • Non-porous intermediate layers 2 can also be used.
  • like reference numerals designate like elements.
  • the mold element 7 here consists of a compact form which surrounds a suction element 6.
  • the molding element 7 has a boundary 11 as a lower edge surface, which is deformed by first recesses so that a continuous groove 12 forms on the underside of the molding element 7.
  • This groove 12 is interrupted only where the mold element 7 surrounds the suction element 6.
  • the mold element 7 has a second recess 13.
  • This recess 13 extends perpendicular to the groove 12.
  • the suction member 6 is in the form shown here a bellows suction. In the inactive state no object is sucked.
  • the suction element 6 then has a suction surface 10 on which is conically shaped and is bounded below by a suction lip 9.
  • the suction lip 9 lies below the plane which is enclosed by the boundary 11. Also in this state, suction air can be discharged in the direction of the arrow 5 through the suction element 6.
  • a deformed suction member 6 is shown in an activated state. In this state, it is when it sucks a flexible flat object, such as an intermediate layer 2.
  • the suction member 6 and the suction lips 9 are deformed in the direction of the Saugluftströmung 5, that the suction surface 10 is withdrawn behind the plane, which is formed by the boundary 11.
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross section through a suction member 6 during the suction of an intermediate layer 2.
  • the suction member 6 is moved by the not fully illustrated lifting device 1 to the stack 4, but this touches not here.
  • the intermediate layer 2 has already been sucked in so far that it covers the suction surface 10. Characterized the suction member 6 is shortened and the suction lip 9 deformed so far that the suction surface 10 and the suction lip 9 within the groove 12, as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, behind the plane formed by the boundary 11. In this process step, only the intermediate layer 2 is sucked alone.
  • FIG. 5 the same suction member 6 as shown in Fig. 4 at a later time in cross section. It is here in contact with the stack 4, i. it was lowered by the lifting device 1 only partially shown.
  • the intermediate layer 2 has been drawn so far behind the boundary 11, that under her a first air channel 14 has formed.
  • This air channel 14 extends along the groove 12 and can be constructed between the individual suction elements 6, as shown in Fig. 1.
  • a pressure plate 3 arrive.
  • the objects can thus be separated more easily, and even with porous intermediate layers 2, a double arc does not occur regularly since the following object is decoupled by the air channel 14 from the vacuum which acts under the suction surface 10.
  • FIG. 6 shows in a further cross-sectional illustration how in this way a porous intermediate layer 2 was lifted by the suction element 6 by means of the lifting device 1, which is not completely shown.
  • This intermediate layer 2 can then be separated in a suitable manner. For example, It can be transported and disposed of.
  • a pressure plate 3 is shown, as it is lifted by a suction element 6 by means of the lifting device 1.
  • the pressure plate 3 is a rigid object, which can not be deformed so far that it is pulled by the suction surface 10 behind the boundary 11.
  • the suction surface 10 then forms a plane plane with the pressure plate 3 and can lift it with support by the lifting device 1 without problems.
  • This pressure plate 3 can then be subjected to further processing, e.g. in a plate setter.
  • a flexible intermediate layer 2 is drawn into the area behind the boundary 11.
  • the intermediate layer 2 is deformed so that it lies in the groove 12 and here forms a first air channel 14, which extends over the entire width of a printing plate 3 and the intermediate layer 2.
  • a recess 13 is further shown.
  • the boundary 11 is pierced so that the intermediate layer 2 can be deformed so that a second air duct, not shown here, can spread out of the area within the molding element 7 to the outside.
  • This second air duct runs essentially perpendicular to the first air duct 14.
  • the suction elements 6 generally engage an outer region of the pressure plate 3 or the intermediate layer 2, so that the pressure region of the pressure plate 3 is not damaged.
  • first air with external air pressure can be rapidly supplied to the surfaces between successive objects such as printing plates and / or intermediate layers, whereby even a suction of a second object through a porous intermediate layer 2 is avoided , The adhesion between the successive objects is then further reduced by the first air channel 14 in the further process sequence.
  • a separation can be supported even better. This advantage is noticeable even with non-porous intermediate layers 2.
